The company is glad to award a local Queensland supplier with a significant contract related to the civil works. This activity enhances the momentum of the natural gas projects of the company and continues the transformation of its business with key milestones to follow in the months going forward.
The company in its FY19 half-year financial results has reported strong earning fundamentals. The company has improved results underpinned by higher production, sales volumes and pricing, leading to improved underlying NPAT. Sensex improved its EBITDAX margin on the back of ongoing cost control. The statutory net loss after tax has significantly improved to $4.5 million in H1 FY19 as compared to $82.3 million loss in the prior corresponding period of H1 FY18, driven by no impairment charges in the current reporting period. The underlying NPAT was higher than statutory NPAT due to current period impact of the Beach transaction ($5.9 million expense). However, the company kept its full-year capital expenditure guidance for FY19 unchanged at $110 to $130 million.
